a New Route to the Gulf,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 27.-Kansas
City has now one more all-rail connection
with the Gulf of Mexico, in the junction
of the Southern Kansas extension of the
Atchison with the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe, at Purcell, Chick
asaw nation, yesterday. This new
line adds about 1000 miles to the
Santa Fe system, opening up the Atchison
to Galveston and giving it control of an
immense territory. The benefits result
ing to Kansas City will be very great.
Though the Missouri Pacific also runs to
Galveston, the Atchisen is not
paralleled, and will tap an altogether
different section of country. The
extension just completed runs from
Arkansas City, Kan, to Gainesville, Tex,
thence through Fort Worth to Galveston.
There are at present between 5000 and
5000 head of. cattle and hogs along the
new line awaiting shipment. 1t is ex-
pected that the new road will make
of this city a cotton market. AL
though it might be found somewhat IN
profitable to compete with the steam
ships running from GaVeston to New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Europeon
cities, it is nevertheless believed that
cotton can be brought here so as to make
it's handling profitable to local manutac-
turers and capitalists.

Uondemning Right of Way.

Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD, TEX, April 29.-The
work of condemning the right of way
along the line of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe was begun to-day. The right of
way through D. S. Wells land south of
town was condemned and settled, the
time prescribed by law having been
waived. The commission allowed the
owner 81 per acre, which is consid-
cred very liberal. All the citations have
been issued and the board of commits
sioners will convene next Thursday, May
5, for the purpose of hearing the defend,
ants and passing on the land to be con-
demned.
The condemning commissioners will
start Monday, in company with the right
of way, to look at the land over which
the road is to run, and inspect the lend
which is to DE condemned SO that they
may arrive at a correct valuation of the
land that justice may be done all parties
concerned.

Meeting at brentwood.

Special to the Gazette.
BROwNwOOD, TEX, April 29.-James
l. More of Waco addressed our citizens
last evening stating the situation of Waco
in regard to the railroad it spoke of not
long since building to this point. He
said Waco had the money raised and was
ready with the assistance of the towns
along the proposed route to build an in
dependent line here, that they were only
waiting to see what the Texas, Arkansas
and st. Louis would do in regard to ex
tending their road from Gainesville to
this place, and that if they decided not to
do this at the meeting of their directors
in Texarkans, May 4, the people of Waco
would, as soon as practicable, arrange
matters and break dirt for Brentwood.
In case the Texas, Arkansas and st. Louis
decided to extend their line to this point
they would abandon their proposed road
here and build one in another direction
out of Waco. Most every one here con-
ours in the opinion that we will be con-
nected with Waco before we are with
Fort Worth. Brentwood will respond
literally and do all IN her power to
assist and attract any and all roads to
come.

ITS EFFECT.
The doctor was cheeIed at frequent in
tervals. While he was speaking Major
Kinney, the leading criminal lawyer,
passed through the crowd. y number
of men stopped him, and then surround
ing him demanded in an excited manner
why he defended men whom he knew to
be criminals. The Msjor commenced
to explain and eXpostnIated, declaring
he had never acted as attorney for man
whom he believed to be guilty. He was
never more earnest or eloquent in his
life, and breathed q heavy sigh of relief
when he slipped out of the throng. The
doctor resumed his remarks, and the
meeting adjourned to hall near by.
Other speeches were made, and 1t was
determined to meet st 10 O'Clock to-
morrow
AT THE COURTHOUSE.
These men appeared to be in dead earn
est. and trouble, probably bloodshed, is
looked for tomorrow.
Despite the Mayors proclamation,
however, tonight the squares about the
iall are packed with men. The police
have been unable to clear the streets for
half mile around the prison. Two COM
panies of militia are in readiness for the
order to march at any moment from the
armory, some five to six squares away.
On Market street a crowd of about 100
men are marching up and down each with
about foot of white cotton rope tied to
his arm in a prominent place. On the
courthouse is an Illuminated design ::
"Wanted, men 10 join the mob"
Up to this writing good order has pre-
vailed The mob appeals to have no
leader, and seems to be watching out OF
curiosity for something TO turn up. The
police and militia are determined to de-
| fend the Jail, come what may, and if an
| attempt to lynch is made tonight or in
the morning there will be blOodshed sure.

point of death, suffering intensely. The
physicians Say there is no hope whatever
for her recovery.

CHAPTER VIII

Ernest did not sleep well that night; the
scene of the evening haunted his dreams, and
he awoke with that sense of oppression that
fmpartially follows on the heels Of misfor-
tune, folly and lobster salad. Nor did the
broad light Of the summer day disperse his
sorrows; indeed, 1t only served to define them
more clearly. Ernest was a very inexpeEi-
enced youth, but inexperienced as he was he
could not but recognize that he had let him
self in for an awkward business He was not
In the smallest degree in love with Florence
Ceswick; indeed his predominant feeling
toward her was one OF fear. She was, as he
had said, so terribly in earnest In Short
though she was barely year older than him
self, she was woman possessed of strength
OF purpose and a rigidity of will that few Of
her sex ever attain TO at any period Of their
lives This he had guessed long ago; but
what he had not guessed was that all the tide
of her life set so strongly toward himself.
That unlucky kiss had, as 1t were, shot the
bolt Of the sluice gates, and now he was in a
fair way 10 be overwhelmed by the rush Of
the waters. What course Of action he had
best take with her now It was beyond his
powers 10 decide. He thought of taking
Dorothy into his confidence and asking her
advice, but instinctively he shrunk from do
ing so. Then he thought Of Jeremy, only,
however, to reject the idea What would
Jeremy know of such thingsi He little
guessed that Jeremy was swelling with Sc
cret of his own, of which he was too shy to
deliver himself. 1t seemed to Ernest, the
more he considered the matter, that there
was only one safe course for him to follow,
and that was 70 run away. 1t would be ig-
nominious, 1t Is true, but at any rate Flor
ence could not run after him. He made ar
rangements 10 meet friend and go for tour
with him to France toward the end of the
month Of August, or about nve weeks from
the present date. These arrangements he
now determined to modify; he would go for
| his tour at once.
Partially comforted by these reflections he
dressed himself that evening for the dance
| at the Smythes, where he was TO meet Flor,
ence, who, however, he gratefully reflected
could not expect him 20 kiss her there. Tho
dance was 70 follow lawn tennis party, tc
which Dorothy, accompanied by Jeremy, had
already gone, Ernest having, for reasons bes
known 10 himself, declined TO go to the lawr
tennis, preferring 20 follow them to the dance
When he entered the ballroom at th,
Smythes the first quadrile was in progress
Making his way up the room, Ernest soor
came upon Florence Ceswick, who was sitting
with Dorothy, while IN the background
l loomed Jerenys gigantic form Both tn,

CHAPTER VI.
JEREMY FALLS IN LOVE.


Jeremy, for the first time in some years,
had no appetite for his dinner that day,
phenomenon that filled Dorothy with alarm
''My dear jeremy she said afterward,
''what can be the matter with you; you had
only one helping of beef and no puddingfr
"Nothing at all,n he replied, sulkily, and
the subject dropped. "Doll," said Jeremy
presently, "Do you know Miss Eva Ces-
wickf'
"Yes, l have seen her twice"
'What do you think Of her, Dolln
"What do you think of herf' replied that
cautious young person.
~ think that she is beautiful-as an an
GEL"
"Quite poeticai, l declare; what nexti
Have you seen herr
"Of course; else how should l know that
she was beautifulN
"Ah, no wonder you had only once Of
beef"
Jeremy colored.
81 am going to call there this afternoon;
would you like to comein went on his sister.
"Yes, I'll come"
"Better and better; 1t will be the first call I
ever remember your having paid"
"You don't think she will mind, Dollr
"Why should she mindi Most people don't
mind being called on even If they have
pretty face"
"Pretty face. She is pretty all over"
"Well, then, pretty all over. start at 8;
don't be late"
Thereupon Jeremy went OFF to beautify
himself for the occasion, and his sister gazed
| at his departing form with the puzzled ex-
| preston that had distinguished her as a child.
"He's going TO fall in love with her." she
said to herself, "and no wonder; any man
would, she's pretty all over as he said, and
what more does a man look atl l wish that
she would fall in love with him before Ernest
comes home" and she sighed.
At 2:45 Jeremy reappeared, looking partic-
| ularly huge in a black coat and his Sunday
trousers When they reached the cottage
where Miss Ceswick lived with her nieces
| they were destined to meet with disap-
pointment for neither of the young ladies
was at home. Miss Ceswick, however, was
| there and received them very cordially.
~ suppose that you have come TO see my
newly imported niece" she said; "in fact, l
am sure that you have, Mr.. Jeremy, because
| you never came to call upon me In your life.
| All, it Is wonderful how young men will
change their habits TO please pair of bright
eyesl"
| Jeremy blushed painfully at this sally, but
Dorothy came to his rescue.
"Has Miss Eva come to live with you for
goodl' she asked
"Yes, | think SO. You see, my dear, be-
tween you and me, her aunt in London, with
whom she was living, has got family OF
daughters, who have recently come out
Eva has been kept back as long as possible,
but now that she is 20 it was impossible 70
keep her back any more. But then, on the
other hand, il was felt, at least think 1t was
felt, that to continue to bring Eva out with
her cousins would be to quite ruin their
chance Of settling In life, because when she
was In the room DO uaan could be got 10 look
